At the beginning of theclass, we listened a song called "Heal the world" by Michael Jackson. The song have a really good message. After to listen the song we talked about it in pairs. I talked with Jorge, he liked how the song could be a motivation to do good actions. I liked the song because try to motivate us to think in the generations before us. We have to give them a better world.

Then, we put in front of each other, all of us had a couple. We practiced for the test. We practiced every grammar focus of the book with our couple. The activity was good, we could practice a lot and it was enterteining. Most of the topics were difficult, but had a spontaneous conversation was a good preparation for the test.

After that, we practice more in our test group. Allan, Nazareth, Marilyn and I talked about the activities that we are going to do during our presentation. We are going to play Broken telephone, Jenga, Charades, and cards. We talked about the conversation for the test. We need to use slangs, idioms and two word verb and don’t be nervous. We need to use the grammar too but this is easier. Slangs, idioms and two word verbs are very difficult because we need to now thw word or the phrase, the meaning and how to use it. Ticos use a lot of idioms when they talk but we now how to use it, how to apply according to the conversation. We need to know how to use them in English too. A lot of idioms and slangs in English are similar to the idioms and slangs in Spanish, but others are different.

The class was very productive and fast. We could interact with differents classmates and this is more interesting.
